High-quality functional fabrics have the characteristics of moisture absorption, quick-drying performance, suitable elasticity, durability and protection, which is adaptable to the needs of various sports.
Moisture absorption and quick drying are the most fundamental and crucial features of functional fabrics. And they are also the core demand that athletes care about the most. Ordinary cotton fabrics will be sticky, sweltering and difficult to dry thoroughly after sweating. Functional fabrics are often adopted irregular fibers or composite structures. By capillary effect, functional fabrics can quickly absorb sweat on body surface, then rapidly conduct it to the fabric surface and diffuse and evaporate, so as to keep body dry without being sticky.
High elasticity and close-fitting property are the core advantages of functional fabrics, which are specially designed for large-scale movements during sports. This fabric mostly is added elastic fibers, such as spandex.The elongation at break can be up to 500~800%, which can achieve four-directional stretching and can be fit to human body without any sense of restraint. It is suitable for all sports. Meanwhile, it has excellent rebound resilience. It will not deform after long time wearing. It has both support and comfort.
Functional fabrics are both protective and durable, which adapt to different sport environment. Outdoor sport fabrics are wind-proof, water-proof and UV-resistant. And indoor sport fabrics are antibacterial and deodorant. In addition, functional fabrics are often adopted high-strength fibers that are wear resistant and tear resistant, which can withstand frequent friction during exercise and extend the service life of sportswear.
Light weight and skin-friendliness are also the outstanding features. The fabric is light, thin and breathable with soft and skin-friendly handle.
Nowadays, functional fabrics are increasingly upgrading towards environmental protection and intelligence, which not only meets the demands of sports but also aligns with the current consumption concepts of health and environmental protection.
